I like trolling cut plug herring, similar to the setup in Spots tutorial on the homepage.

I've used a similar setup for plunking; do you use it to troll with, or are you sitting on anchor?
Like ndogg stated, the front page has top-notch info and is similar to what I use. (Better yet, it's what people use who are really good fisherman.)

For Coho however, I love swinging spinners; all sorts, sizes and shapes.

Wobblers are also a common practice for fall fish, but I can't seem to make them catch anything. ???
My wife thinks fishing is merely guys wandering around like idiots swinging sticks in the air. Many of my trips prove how smart she really is.

How heavy of an anchor are you using on the Fraser?
